Photos

Removal using modern lowering techniques of a large dying pine (covered by a TPO), which overhung sheds & large gas tanks, and was situated at the top of a steep slope. No damage caused
We dismantled a very large monterey cypress which had been badly damaged by the 2014 & 2016 storms. The stump was left as a seat feature for four people, and also acts as a monument to the sadly missed tree.
This photo was taken after the tree was reduced by 1.5m (approx 20% of leafing area) to manage the risk of failure associated with included unions at the base. Failure would cause massive damage to the ancient church. This job has been recognized as an example of excellent tree work.
An example of excellent pruning to BS3998. Light reduction & lift to manage spread of canopy in urban environment. The tree is within a Conservation Area so we submitted the statutory notification to Cornwall Council on behalf of the client. We are a Cornwall Council Accredited Planning Agent.
This large ash and another adjacent to it had advanced decay. We dismantled the timber with a crane to avoid damage to the freshly tarmacked parking area surrounding the trees. Two large trees were effectively dismantled in one day. A cost effective outcome for the client & safe system for the team.
We are committed to re-investing into our business. We have machinery to undertake all arboricultural operations. From pruning saws to trucks. All equipment is routinely inspected & serviced to ensure efficiency and reliability.

Large felling project involving 35 eucalyptus trees. Job carried out very professionally and substantially below budget. Site left in a very tidy condition. Great client communication. We would very happily use them again.

We had two very large and daunting pine trees, but the team at Expertrees did a brilliant job, all came down really cleanly and they tidied up every day.
Professional, friendly and courteous staff. Would definitely recommend.
